What is the point in a fixie?

[Grog]

I just want to know why someone did that to a bike in the first place.

I think it's actually about what one did not do to a bike, i.e. not add a freewheel.

I agree with the "feeling as one" explanation. I'm not ready to ride a fixie, but if I had more space for bikes in my home I'd sure consider it...
